Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is pretty good, the characters are great, the gameplay is fun and engaging, and it's creepy as hell.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has seemingly endless randomised scares (some of which got us real good), it builds tension and atmosphere really effectively, the hidden lore and the criteria to unlock different endings are fun, and the routine of embalming bodies is a morbidly enjoyable one.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the atmosphere and visuals are good, they weren't enough to make up for the lack of enjoyable gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And the voice acting is absolutely brilliant for a game with such a small budget - you do believe characters, and their stories work because of this.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
More scares, more haunts and Co-op play for shared heartattacks lol.
